CLE Program
"Carve-out transactions," typically defined as sales or divestitures of business lines or units, are among the most complex types of corporate transactions. Companies have increasingly used carve-outs to divest underperforming or nonessential businesses or to acquire specific assets or increase market share. If done well, carve-outs can create substantial value for both buyers and sellers. If not, they can lead to significant issues for both parties.
Our first program for 2020 will focus on carve-out transactions from the perspective of both experienced in-house lawyers and law-firm M&A partners. The speakers will discuss the unique issues involved, with a focus on practical recommendations for accomplishing successful carve-out transactions and avoiding problems. The program will examine many carve-out-related issues, including the following:
- Preparation and structure;
- Determining and segregating carve-out assets and liabilities;
- Financial statements;
- Environmental, intellectual property, and information technology issues;
- Employee matters;
- Restrictive covenant issues;
- Transition service agreements;
- Third-party and regulatory consents;
- Key purchase agreement terms;
- Typical post-closing disputes; and
- Integration-related issues.
